This is an interesting article..........it is in reply to an article in the New York Times claiming that Islam and Christianity share bloody opinions.

Mr. Kristof either has no clue or doesn’t care that Christianity doesn’t have and never has had a doctrine mandating warfare against non-Christians. Islam, on the other hand, has now and has always had a doctrine mandating warfare against non-Muslims. See, just to name a few, Qur’an 9:29 (“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day … (even if they are) of the People of the Book [Jews and Christians], until they pay the Jizya [the special tax on non-Muslims] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued”) and hundreds of other verses; Sahih Muslim 4294 (Muhammad says: “Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war”); a legal manual endorsed by the closest thing to a Vatican that Sunni Islam has, Al-Azhar University: ‘Umdat al-Salik o.9.8 (“… [make] war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians . . . until they become Muslim or pay the non-Muslim poll tax”); plus the writings of all the major Islamic jurists.

am not saying that Christians have never behaved in a beastly manner. I am saying that they didn’t do it because of their ideas of what was going to happen at the end of the world — or, for that matter, because of the teachings of Jesus. Whatever you can say about the Crusades and the Inquisition, you will never find a New Testament verse commanding that Christians go out and kill people. But jihadists who kill today are doing so because of teachings of Islam to which I referred above, and others. Muslims who do not kill don’t have different teachings; they just ignore these.
